Capítulo 2: Ch 1 : Who Is Tiger King?
Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ferguson completed his last game at Old Trafford, and then said goodbye to all of Red Devils fans. The audience gave a warm applause. Sir Alex Ferguson slowly walked towards the internal passage of the stadium. At this time, a young man in a suit stood next to him. In fact, he was not young at all, he was already in his late 30s and it was amazing that there is actually another Asian face on the field other than Shinji Kagawa, not to mention standing right next to the legendary coach himself.
As Ferguson walked slowly, waving his hands to say thank you to the fans, when he came off the field and was about to enter the passage, he suddenly turned back and said to the young Asian beside him: "Remember all this, because they will belong to you soon."
After saying that, Ferguson walked into the passage of the stadium without looking back. When the young man heard Ferguson's words, he took a look at the crowded stadium, and then he took a deep breath, without stopping, he quickened his pace to follow Ferguson inside.
At this time in the Sky TV studio, the commentator Morris is talking passionately.
"Sir Ferguson's impact on Manchester United has been profound, deep and huge. His great record will be difficult to break for many years to come. Late-comers may feel hopeless for the record he has set."
"Morris, who's beside Sir Ferguson?" Roman next to him suddenly interrupted.
"Which one?"
"That young Asian beside him."
Morris looked closely for a long time: "I don't know either."
"Aren't you a hardcore fan of Manchester United? You should've know everyone, no?"
"This may be a relative of the Jazz, or maybe an official of the club."
Seven days later, on May 19, 2013, in the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United tied West Bromwich 5 : 5. With that closing game, the 2012-13 Premier League Championship trophy had finally returned to Old Trafford Stadium after a year of absence.
After the match, the FA held a grand award ceremony at the Old Trafford Stadium. The FA Premier League Chairman, David Richards, personally awarded the medals to Manchester United players. In cheers, Captain Giggs held up the Premier League trophy high above his head.
The audience was boiling!
Every Manchester United fan felt like they're in a grand festival, shouting loudly, cheering hard, venting their excitement. Many fans wept and sang with joy, especially the West Stand where Manchester United hardcore fans is located, which more famously known as the Stretford End Stand. At this moment, the whole stadium was shaking, like a one-in-a-millennium volcanic eruption, with jets surging, and it was exciting beyond words.
At this point, the Manchester United press conference hall is already full of enthusiastic journalists. Many journalists are whispering head-to-head and talking, waiting for Sir Alex Ferguson to arrive.
Amongst the crowd, the loudest person is Wolfe. He is a reporter for the famous British newspaper The Sun.
"Hey guys, you say, what explosive news will the Jazz announce?"
"Wolfe, are you going to write some peach-colored gossip news again? It's a pity that you are in the wrong place." It was Toynbee, a reporter for the Guardian.
Many reporters laughed at Toynbee's words. Everyone knows that the Sun has always been dominated by gossip peach news. Among them, there are many Imagination-based 'Facts' carefully crafted by the newspaper' reporters, and Wolf is the most outstanding one among them.
Wolfe heard the ridicule of everyone, and was not angry: "It's all about writing manuscripts, and we all get laughed at. Who can guarantee that everything you write is true?"
The Times correspondent Leslie was obviously not interested in this topic, and he went on to talk about the press conference: "Manchester United announced yesterday that after today's game, important news will be announced. You say, What important news will be announced? "
"What else can be, it must be the news of Ferguson retirement."
Leslie shook his head: "I don't think it's possible. The news of Jazz's retirement has spread throughout the football world. What more needs to be announced at this time?"
"Maybe the club thinks this is a big deal?"
Wolfe of the Sun has exerted his magical imagination: "I don't think it's that simple, and there will definitely be major news announced soon. For example, according to reliable news, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney revealed that he wanted to leave Manchester United and join The Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. "
Toynbee reply to Wolfe: "According to reliable information? I guess it was given by your imagination?"
"Hahahaha!" The crowd laughed again.
At this time, someone asked a young man beside him: "Hall, you have always had a good relationship with the Manchester United club. Do you have any inside information? Tell us all?"
Everyone's eyes fell on a young man next to him. This young man looked like a man in his 20s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a gentle and calm look, and a very British temperament. He is a reporter for the Manchester Evening News. As the local media of Manchester, there are often some insider news provided by the club for them.
"Yeah, if you have any insider information, tell us."
Hale gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and whispered: "I hear from an insider, it seems that Sir Ferguson will announce his successor today."
"what!??"
All the reporters were surprised when Hall said this sentence.
"No, I heard that Manchester United's board of directors is communicating with Mourinho and want to invite him to coach the Red Devils, hasn't it been negotiated?"
"It's possible that Mourinho is going to be transferred this season. His current club, Real Madrid, has lost to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the La Liga League and Copa del Rey finals, and in the Champions League, they have lost to Dortmund in the semifinals. Real Madrid executives are said to be very dissatisfied with him. Now is the time for England to pick up Mourinho again."
"But I heard that Sir Alex Ferguson has a crush on Everton coach' David Moyes, and Manchester United's Manager position is likely to be given to him."
At this time, everyone was talking, but Hall was not involved in the discussion. As a hardcore Manchester United fan, he is worried about Manchester United's future. He looked quietly at the rostrum. After a few minutes, Sir Alex Ferguson would be speaking there. I wonder who will hold up the future of Manchester United?
Soon after, Sir Ferguson walked into the press conference room and sat on the main seat. He looked at the many reporters on the stage, and then said to the mic in front of him.
"Today I will announce two things. First, I have completed my 1500th game coaching at Manchester United today and officially announced my retirement."
The audience was quiet. Although everyone knew the news long ago, when they heard this coming from Ferguson's mouth the reporters are still stunned.
Ferguson did not wait for the reporter to question, and continued: "Second, I strongly recommend to the Manchester United Club that Mr. Tiger King to be my successor and lead Manchester United to continue its glory. My words are over, goodbye everyone. "
Ferguson stood up, walked to the door, and stopped again: "Dear you, no more."
After saying that, he walked away, leaving only a long-lasting red devils legend.
Everyone is at a standstill at this moment, and now there is only one question in everyone's mind.
Who is Tiger King?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay... Many things from this novel is not historically accurate. for example the MU captain. in the original world, the captain for 2012-13 MU is Vidic not Giggs as in the novel.
Also, in the original world, Sir Ferguson personally attended the medal awarding ceremony and even lifted up the Trophy first before the captain, Vidic. Maybe because this is a parallel world, some things are different from the original world.
there's also the one who awarded the medals is not Palmer (as in the Raw translation) I don't know who the fuck is Palmer so I change it to Dave Richards (FA Premier League Chairman), the one who gives the player medals in the original world.
